The 2006 DePauw-Trinity game was scheduled to be in Greencastle, which gives DePauw five originally scheduled home games. 

This year's game was moved to Trinity since DePauw did not travel to Texas in 2005 because of the hurricanes.

It seems the schedule has a string of 3 or more games either on the road or at home every year since they moved to the SCAC.

Wabco, we don't need your sympathy.  Ever. :)

Oh man! That must have been something to see!  :o

From the UAA Board:

Scotty:  well...with the Baird Brothers Trophy up for grabs on Saturday, this board will be rocking...Wooster vs CWRU...let the trash talking begin  ...here's 1 to get started...Wooster player..."i've got a 3.8 GPA buddy..." CWRU player..."yeah right but i bet it's not in a double major..."...it gets downright nasty out there...

CWRU70:  My take ... a full healthy CWRU squad would give COW a game.  With the injuries, I fear a 2 td loss.

The makeshift OL opened some holes for the RBs v Kenyon.  Jefferies returned, but Nick Spring (Fr LT starter didn't ...torn meniscus.  Could return late in season if he had arthroscopy).  Now the D is going down; lost Decesare as an excessive celebration penalty (after 3rd safety in 2 games set up by Calderone punt).  Then on ensuing kick Scott Madden apparently went down on knee on the return.  Not to be outdone on O, Whalen was slow getting up after being hit going over the goal line at the pylon at the end of an eleven yard TD run in which he totally reversed his field (ran 50-60 yds).  That was at the 9:20 mark of the 3rd Q and he did not return (29-0 at that point).  Hopefully it was the proverbial "wind knocked out of him."

Mirando mopped up, mostly handing the ball off.  He was 2-3 with a TD.

As I stated earlier, even though it's a small sample, I'm not convinced of the better safety of the infill turf based on the CWRU experience the last two years.

Factoid:  This week is CWRU's only game not on the new-style turf.  Helps to have six home games.  When will COW enter the 21st century?

LET'S GO FIGHT FOR THE FISH!!!!

I hear that the "wisdom" tree is still getting a lot of use on the north quad at Oberlin.  Aparently smoke still gets in their eyes.

I'm sorry...I could have sworn that cwru70 just took a shot at Wooster because they play on (gasp) natural grass.  Are you kidding me with this? 

Go Scots...string up another lunker Saturday.

Don't worry ... while I am not sure what you comment meant ... as I made no post involving you or yours (that I am aware of) lately ... be assured that there is no sympathy intended or delivered.

Two things about the link:
http://athletics.wooster.edu/fb/news/2006/9-18.php

1.) "The winning team adds a fish, which symbolizes some aspect of how that year's game was played."
  --How in the world do you match a fish with how the game was played? I would love to hear some of the explanations on that one.
2.) "Wooster currently owns a 15-game winning streak against non-conference competition during the regular season, and over the last 31 non-league games, the Scots are 27-4 overall (.871). That includes the two NCAA Div. III playoff games in 2004."
  --Although we haven't played the stiffest competition in non-league games I still think this is somewhat impressive.

The Stringer may be my second favorite traveling trophy in football.  I've been fascinated with it ever since I heard about it.  I've still not seen the thing, but I'm making a promise to myself to check it out when I make my biannual trek to the Papp next season.  I feel compelled to put on a hawaiian shirt and have somebody snap a polaroid of me holding it up.

What kind of game was it when they decided to put a sucker fish on the stringer?  This could be a fun game to play...I give you the fish, then you Tarantino the story and give me the series of events that led up to somebody putting a sucker fish (or any other fish of choice) on the stringer.

Ah, the Baird bros "trophy."  We had it every year I was at Wooster and I have to say its very interesting.  The other interesting trophy Wooster plays for every year is the Lantern in their annual clash against rival Denison.  Something about back in the dark ages when the teams would take trains to and fro the game and needed a lantern to light their way home...

Personally, I think the creative minds from both Wooster and Wabash should come up with a trophy for what is turning into a nice little in-conference rivalry as well.  Any thoughts?

Doesn't the NCAC have a trophy already? :)

Yes Wally, you caught me in an inconsistent moment.  As my other posts bear out I'm not sold on the turf.  But then all grass fields are not created equal as you all will attest from Allegheny's old field.

If the Wooster/CWRU game was ugly, then an obvious fish would be the "crappie".
